Arguments Against Homosexuality
There are many arguments against homosexuality based on religious grounds and on its effects on society which include such matters as the negative health effects of homosexuality and that homosexual relationships experience more violence.
In 2003, the Pew Research Center stated that in the United States, religious beliefs underpin opposition to Homosexuality according to a study they conducted. [1] Judeo-Christian objections nearly always refer to what the Bible states about homosexuality, which, it is argued, condemns homosexual acts in both Old and New Testaments. For example, Leviticus 18:22 says, "A man shall not lie with man as with a woman." Similarly, one chapter later we see Leviticus 19:27 admonishing against cutting one's hair or trimming one's beard, but while the verse itself does not state so explicitly, in the context of the chapter this rule is not a general guideline, rather it is clearly only meant to apply when these actions are committed as part of an act of mourning.[2]
